If they are placed in parallel one of the windings sees an effective short circuit, you will definitely not get x 10 step-up.

That can't be right either. If it were, paralleling identical windings would have to result in a short circuit as well. And of course it doesn't.

I'm thinking maybe SysInfo could be partly correct. Maybe different ratio windings in parallel do effectively equal the average number of TURNS for each winding (rather than the average of the ratios that SysInfo erroneously claimed with regard to series connection).

So that the 1:10 and 1:5 windings in parallel would get you (using the same 100 turn secondary example I used in my previous post) (10 + 20)/2 or 100/15 or a ratio of 1:6.66.

Hmmm. That seems to make sense. It works if you apply it to indentical windings in parallel, and the 1:6.66 ratio is exactly twice that of the 1:3.33 ratio for series wired primaries.

Hmmm...
